  • Worm & Web Love

    Synopsis from the FILM-MAKERS COOP (http://film-makerscoop.com/rentals-sales/search-results?fmc_filmid=540): WORM AND WEB LOVE begins with bracketed light, a throbbing worm in the sand and sea foam mixed with grass and oceanic detritus, soon superimposed upon the dark blue-toned face of a man, then a woman (Michael McClure and Amy Evans McClure), each seen, then on, through superimpositions of drifting smoke and the back-lit stark grid of a spider’s web. The obvious affections of the man and woman, their clear display of love, is metaphored in these tenuous superimpositions, culminating in the frantic movements of the spider itself and the dance of joy of…

  • Eureka

    Have you ever watched the top of a tall building as clouds passed over it and felt it/you falling?

They settle into the solid-coloured vertical stripes of video “colour bars.” Tree branches seen from below revolve around the periphery of the frame. A golden-coloured stone appears and sits motionless in the revolving sky…

Thence came all things.” – Greek myth An exceptional portrayal of the world’s creation, from a barren landscape to the emergence of the Woman and the Serpent, ending with Society as we know it.

  • Rewards

    The film’s original inspiration was Ward’s Pond, a small kettle hole in Jamaica Plain, Massachusetts.Touching off from the natural energies of this constricted urban green space, the film underwent destructive physical processes involving bleach and boiling. The resulting debris of emulsion fluctuate between representational image and the physical presence of the film strip, whose battered surface, nevertheless, continues to evoke the natural decay endlessly taking place on the pond’s shores.
